Unhelpful and dismissive mental health consultation

AVOID THIS CLINIC FOR MENTAL HEALTH SUPPORT. The physician bluntly declared they don't believe in diagnostic labels, repeatedly emphasizing they were sharing a 'personal opinion' rather than professional medical advice. Their approach was essentially 'life is tough, just deal with it'. They suggested that without personality differences, the world would lack diversity. No effort was made to listen to my symptoms; instead, they claimed that my self-awareness in seeking help meant I was already managing. Because of a decade-old mental health diagnosis, they assumed I must have developed coping mechanisms. Despite my attempts to understand potential treatment options, I was met with a vacant expression and zero empathy. I'm genuinely concerned for individuals in serious distress who might receive such a dismissive response. This wasn't my regular doctor, but an out-of-hours clinic that I foolishly ignored the poor online reviews for.
